What road bike do you have?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

What road bike do you have?

Paint doesn't come off as easily as a sticker.

I'd rather rock that sticker, than ride a fixie that looks like a 5 year old took a box of crayons, & went crazy on.
Or a a bike with 20 company stickers, the companies that over do it are really pushing it these days.

I don't know much about my bike. I have owned it 2 years and am at least the 3rd owner. It has a Marin sticker on it, and the word "One". It has a titanium frame, Spinergy Rev X wheels, and Ultegra components all around. When I got it it had an Arlberg Racing sticker on it, so I assume it used to be raced out of Wenatchee, WA. If anyone recognizes it or has any info about it, I would love to learn more.

This is my first road bike and I absolutely love it.

UCIMBZ should post bigger photos of his bikes so we can choose the hottest.

From what I remember, the two sided Max Lelli was my favorite.

I don't think we've got enough bandwidth.

Definitely. The jekyl/hyde Max Lelli is easily the coolest. The other Max Lelli is up there too. But I know he loves showing off that Colnago.

My vote goes to the bianchi team bike. She has the looks and experience.

I just brought home a 2013 Specialized Allez Sport. I thought it was going to come in silver/red paint scheme, but instead came a gorgeous blue with white and black lettering. Also, the Shimano Sora setup is nice with new shifters designed like the Ultegra's. It's very fast, too! This is my first road bike and I'm very glad I bought this.. I'll post pics when my phone charges more.
